The 1st workshop in our 5-part TCP Approach Series, and the foundation of our work, begins by clearly defining the difference between step-by-step crafts and process art, and explaining why agency, choice, and pacing are so crucial for children’s cognitive, creative, and social-emotional development. When children are trusted to direct their own experiences, they develop independence, autonomy, and the ability to follow through – skills we often wish they had later in life. From there, we explore how to intentionally curate materials and environments that invite discovery, decision-making, and flow across ages and settings. Our approach provides opportunities to learn deeply about children, including what interests and engages them, the funds of knowledge they bring to the learning environment, and what brings them joy. All the while, helping us embrace a flexible mindset and fortify our belief that children are capable and full of creative potential.
Running time: 65 minutes
PD certificate and 3 printables included
